Healthy plants began season with yellow flowers. While still prolific, the blooms are now green like the leaves and do not show up at all. They get plenty of light.
This is indicative of too much nitrogen in soil. This can be offset by using fertilizers low in nitrogen, but higher in phosphorus and potassium.

They have a lot of green follage. I am feeding them with a blooming fertilizer.
You don't want to overfertilize your plant. That can prevent blooming. Your calla lily may need a dormant period to bloom. Here is how:

Hi, I have a pretty good size area with deep purple variety of calla lilies. I dig up the bulbs fall and replant in the spring. I have several deep purple calla lily plants that appear to have two flowers growing from one stem. I first noticed a couple last year. This year I have a few more. Is this unusual? Thank you
It is unusual but not uncommon. Does that make sense? I have seen pictures posted online with this alteration and have seen it in my own garden. We've all seen blooms that failed to open; something went wrong in the process. Duplicate calla lily blooms are also something that went different but, in this case, it is a pleasant change. A "sport" is a plant that undergoes a desirable genetic change. Plant breeders and plant enthusiasts cherish these special plants.

I was given some potted Calla Lilies for Mother's day. There was 1 yellow one and the rest are green and still are. They are bunched together and I put them in a bigger pot without separating them. I'm in zone 7,so I'm keeping them as a house plant. The tips are getting brown and they are outside on a covered porch so they only get morning sun. Should I separate them and how do I get them to have color?
Your lilies may not be getting enough light. Here are two articles- one that addresses the green blooms, and the other all about caring for your calla bulbs in the winter:

I have planted a Calla Lily outside and it has been there for about 3 years. I live in Columbus, Ohio and it blooms (if you want to say that) every year, however only the green leaves grow. Beautifully, I might add, but it has never bloomed a colorful flower???
If it's not blooming at all, your soil may be too high in nitrogen and not high enough in phosphorus. Feed them with a higher-phosphorous fertilizer - your local garden center can help you with this. It also may not be getting enough water and sun to bloom.
The strange thing is you should be digging it up in the fall and storing it over winter as calla lilies aren't hardy in zone 6. So if you are leaving it in the ground, it may be too damaged to bloom properly.

My calla lily stopped blooming several months ago, and since then has always had a few leaves that turn yellow, and then die. I’ve been researching and it seems that the plant is supposed to go dormant. Is that happening already? Or is it typical for this plant to lose leaves quickly? I’ve never had a house plant that is expected to have a dormancy period, so I’m not exactly sure what to do here. Thanks!
They have the ability to go dormant, but do not require it to be healthy. As long as the correct conditions are provided, they can grow quite well indoors.
With that being said, it would appear to be an overwatering issue. The soil does need to dry out just a bit between waterings. Usually, you want to aim for a complete dry out down to about an inch or two.
This article will help you to care for them in container:

my calla lily rots to mush at base of stems of leaves and flowers - why its not in soggy compost
Does it get plenty of sun? If it's in more than 25 percent shade it may not be drying out fast enough. Well-draining soil is essential for Calla lilies.
I find Calla lilies to be somewhat temperamental. They do like evenly moist soil, but wait till they dry out a bit before watering again. There's a fine line between "moist" and "saturated."
